So far, I'm impressed with Box.net, online storage and collaboration. Working on a family project.
@guykawasaki is very honest about his Twitter usage (and that of his Ghosts) refreshingly transparent. http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2009...
Not to begin with. - /Users/mitch/
Had lunch with a Silicon Valley Realtor, she said that home prices are starting to creep up, multiple bids on homes. A sign of a turn?
Conflict of interest? Let's see the data. ;) - Mark Evans
Realtors ALWAYS say it's a good time to buy. Occasionally it's even true, - Rachel Luxemburg
Talking herself into it. Data suggests otherwise unless she's working a very small part of SV. Look at Redfin Ask versus Sale. The cascade effect is going to hit the upper-to-mid range of homes in the next few months as comps reset. - AJ Kohn
Interesting ABC News article: "Collapse in Prices Has Finally Come Home to the Rich" "there is a still-growing supply of wildly overpriced, unsold homes--60,000 U.S. properties priced above $2 million listed on Realtor.com."http://bit.ly/g1Z8I - Mark Evans
@bwdumars There's quite a few folks that use Twitter NOT for engagement. Instead traffic to ad-based sites to generate $$$. Game of %s
Really glad I switched to MediaTemple, the service has been good, the web based admin page has a refined UX. So far so good.
The problem is, many who follow back are also bots with auto-follow on. So often it could be bots following bots.
Jeremiah, this is why we focus on auto-unfollow filters on SocialToo. If they meet certain criteria we won't auto-follow them for you (and will unfollow if you're already following them). - Jesse Stay
Recently met with a developer who showed me his Twitter scripts to auto-follow people -in return getting lots of followers
@nickjhowe @dimensionmedia oh, we agree. Physical media is old way --on demand is future. Still, on demand HD videos are limited too
Blu-ray titles are very limited. Wonder what the hold is up for more movies on this format.
NPR: Is The Worst Over? Most Economists Say Yes http://www.npr.org/templat...
And economists are always correct, so, no worries then, right? - MVB
are these the same economist who saw it coming? If so we maybe in trouble - Kim Landwehr
@AKGovSarahPalin (Sarah Palin) Great PDF with your personal thoughts you just tweeted, if you're going to do more, launch a blog!
What did you do for the 4th of July?
watched my dog convulse during all the fireworks - Josh Chapman
watched fireworks near google amplitheatre and then took kids to a movie -- - Beth Kanter
Spent the day with family and watched my cousins play "band" all day - much fun! - Melissa
Spent the day poolside with family and great food/drinks - Johnny Schroepfer
Who will Friendfeed compete with? Plaxo requires login but aggregates all networks, Friendfeed aggregates public info (and maybe someday login required data). Flock, which requires download also aggregates your network into one place. What site could be the biggest threat to Friendfeed? I say web email sites like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and MS Mail.
power.com? - Prolific Programmer via IM
Google Wave. No, I am not kidding. - Ben Parr
Ben, yes for sure. - Jeremiah Owyang
FF would not compete with those sites if integration with blogging applications was better. - LPH™ and his dog P™
or maybe nutshellmail - Prolific Programmer via IM
Agree with Ben, Google Wave has all the bells and whistles, I'm waiting for it to unfold - Julie Williams
Ben Parr: agree wholeheartedly, it's public, it's shared, it's conversations, it sucks things in - Mark Essel
can friendfeed and google wave play nice? sorry first week with two puppies, that's the best vocabulary I can muster. - Mark Essel
FriendFeed can leverage many google wave technologies and package them in a way that is not designed for internal communication/information consumption (which the current google wave client is designed to do) - Chris Saad
Facebook as well. - Louis Gray
are they going to open up their walled garden? http://www.victusspiritus.com/2009... - Mark Essel
FriendFeed already competes with Facebook news feed - but it has none of the bloat - it is designed for someone to aquire it and deliver the facebook newsfeed experience for the openweb (Hint: Google) - Chris Saad
My vote is Wave. But it's a premature, ignorant prediction. - phil baumann
I think it's the Whole Web~~ - K.D.
Chris said it. - Wade Dorrell
ff vs. the Whole Web K.D.?, madness! - Mark Essel
Jeremiah, thanks a lot , your post sparked a conversation that's driving my attention away from my feed reader and a blog post about a new education/support infrastructure for entrepreneurs based on VC like support (not the capital, the knowledge of startup cycles/networking/market) - Mark Essel
ACtually KD is on to something, if web sites as destinations go away, FF has that opportunity. Mark, sorry bud :) - Jeremiah Owyang
@Mark Essel One evidence is that I look for content from the Whole Web(via search engine, digg,etc) in the past, but now I only go to friendfeed for content. For me, ff has won the competition against the Whole Web. - K.D.
ahh but what is ff without the rest of the web? - Mark Essel
it's a wonderful indexing service that brings information important/interesting/pertinent straight to your door. it's a personalized information delivery service (fantastic). folks go from ff to my blog, that's fine by me. What I'm trying to peddle is the hardest sell, ideas. - Mark Essel
Google wave esp. with open API. - Andrew Wilson
interesting analysis.. im not sure if friendfeed will ever go mainstream becuz to understand it means that you understand way more than the average internet users.. twitter is for the masses cuz anyone can write a few words and send out a tweet. - Jason Pollock
Probably Google Wave - Michael
Yes, Google Wave - Svartling
passive entertainment - Patricia
Good question, Jeremiah. Right now, no one. Google Wave if people run with it might be a competitor, but if they don't and Google does what it normally does with the technology on their own (little to nothing...Jaiku or Orkut, anyone?) then probably not. - Neal Jansons

Hilarious, now WoW and Twitter are integrated. (now your coworkers know when you're goofin off) http://blog.twitter.com/2009...
People who complain about the inanity of Twitter have clearly never seen the glory of WoW's Trade Chat. - Victor Ganata
Or the Barrens general chat. - Haggis (Sean Loyless) via Android
Barrens chat in twitter?? are you kidding me? - Kim

@davetaylor makes a well argued case to why PR still has value. http://www.intuitive.com/blog... I agree, nothing goes away completely, it evolves

@kevinmarks Nah it IS the same. Why? you can't make me open your spammy email. (follow ur brand) Email still opt-in pre and post send.

Twitter as a "Help Center" Best Buy creates app that encourages employees to help customers http://bbyconnect.appspot.com/ @twelpforce
I'm not sure if this is a good business idea or not. This seems rather odd. - LPH™ and his dog P™
Explain why you think that LPH - Jeremiah Owyang
Consider a person just tweeting away about a purchase at best buy going wrong -- then will the "casual" employee be able to help? - LPH™ and his dog P™
Many conversations I've had express concern over behavior from the hourly workforce. In a company like BBY, integration has more potential for disciplinary enforcement vs. brand building. - Peter Kim
sigh. shaking my head at a blogger that really, really, really needs a hug. kinda sad.
